Demanda energética de IA: Reto infraestructural clave en 2025

El crecimiento explosivo de la inteligencia artificial ha creado una crisis energética sin precedentes que está reconfigurando los sistemas de energía global, las estrategias climáticas y la competencia industrial. Esta convergencia entre la expansión de la IA y las limitaciones energéticas representa uno de los desafíos tecnológicos y políticos más importantes para gobiernos y corporaciones en la actualidad.

Proyecciones y escala del consumo energético

La magnitud del apetito energético de la IA es asombrosa. Los centros de datos en Estados Unidos consumieron 183 teravatios-hora (TWh) de electricidad en 2024, lo que representa más del 4% del consumo eléctrico total del país, una cifra aproximadamente equivalente a la demanda anual de electricidad de Pakistán. Se proyecta que esta cifra se más que duplique para 2030, alcanzando los 426 TWh.

A nivel global, el panorama es aún más dramático. Se prevé que los centros de datos consuman 945 TWh para 2030, superando el uso combinado actual de electricidad de Alemania y Francia, y más del doble de los 415 TWh consumidos en 2024. Dentro de este crecimiento más amplio, la participación de la IA se está acelerando rápidamente.

Actualmente, la IA representa aproximadamente entre el 5% y el 15% del uso energético de los centros de datos, pero esto podría aumentar a un 35-50% para 2030.

Se espera que el consumo de energía en Estados Unidos alcance niveles récord, con una demanda proyectada de 4,179 mil millones de kWh en 2025 y 4,239 mil millones de kWh en 2026, superando el récord de 2024 de 4,082 mil millones de kWh. Este crecimiento está impulsado sustancialmente por la creciente demanda de los centros de datos que apoyan la IA y las criptomonedas.

El papel multiplicador de la inteligencia artificial

La IA por sí sola podría representar más del 20% del crecimiento total de la demanda de electricidad hasta 2030. Este incremento no solo se debe al poder de cómputo, sino también a los sistemas de refrigeración y almacenamiento necesarios. La complejidad de los modelos de IA más avanzados exige una infraestructura cada vez más robusta y hambrienta de energía.

• 
  
• Crecimiento exponencial: La demanda energética de los centros de datos se duplicará en solo seis años.
  
• Participación creciente de la IA: Su parte en el consumo total de los centros de datos podría triplicarse.
  
• Impulsores clave: Avances en modelos de lenguaje grande (LLM) y computación en la nube.
  

El desafío de la infraestructura y la red eléctrica

La rápida expansión de la infraestructura de IA está generando una grave presión sobre las redes eléctricas en todo el mundo. Goldman Sachs estima que se necesitarán gastar aproximadamente 720 mil millones de dólares en actualizaciones de la red hasta 2030 para acomodar este crecimiento.

Sin embargo, existe un cuello de botella crítico: los proyectos de transmisión pueden tardar varios años en ser permitidos y construidos. Esto podría restringir la expansión de los centros de datos si las regiones no abordan de manera proactiva los desafíos de infraestructura.

Las demandas energéticas de los centros de datos individuales enfocados en IA son extraordinarias. Un hyperscaler típico consume anualmente tanta electricidad como 100,000 hogares, mientras que las instalaciones más grandes actualmente en construcción se espera que usen 20 veces esa cantidad.

Los centros de datos modernos de IA pueden consumir tanta electricidad como una pequeña ciudad.

Componentes del consumo energético

El consumo total de un centro de datos de IA no se limita solo a la computación. Los sistemas de refrigeración y el almacenamiento en memoria contribuyen significativamente al consumo total de energía.

1. 
   
2. Procesamiento (GPUs/TPUs): La unidad principal de consumo durante el entrenamiento e inferencia de modelos.
   
3. Refrigeración: Sistemas críticos para disipar el immense calor generado por los servidores.
   
4. Almacenamiento y red: La energía necesaria para mantener y acceder a vastos conjuntos de datos.
   

Esta demanda concentrada y masiva está llevando al límite la capacidad de las redes eléctricas existentes, especialmente en regiones con alta concentración de centros de datos.

Encryption in 2025: Trends, Standards, and Future-Proofing

Encryption is the cornerstone of modern data security, transforming readable data into an unreadable format to prevent unauthorized access. As cyber threats evolve, so do encryption technologies, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication across digital ecosystems. In 2025, encryption is not just a best practice—it’s a regulatory necessity and a strategic imperative for enterprises worldwide.

Understanding Encryption: Core Concepts and Mechanisms

At its core, encryption is a cryptographic process that converts plaintext (readable data) into ciphertext (unreadable data) using algorithms and keys. This process ensures that only authorized parties with the correct key can decrypt and access the original information. Encryption serves three primary security goals:

• Confidentiality: Ensures data is accessible only to authorized users.


• Integrity: Guarantees data remains unaltered during transmission or storage.


• Authentication: Verifies the identity of users and the origin of data.

Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Encryption

Encryption methods are broadly categorized into two types: symmetric and asymmetric.

• Symmetric Encryption: Uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. It is faster and more efficient, making it ideal for encrypting large volumes of data. AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key) is the gold standard for enterprise data security due to its robustness and performance.


• Asymmetric Encryption: Uses a pair of keys—a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. This method is more secure for key exchange and digital signatures but is computationally intensive. ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) is widely used in resource-constrained environments like IoT devices.

Data States and Encryption

Encryption protects data in three states:

• Data at Rest: Encrypted when stored on disks, databases, or backups.


• Data in Transit: Encrypted during transmission over networks (e.g., via TLS 1.3).


• Data in Use: Encrypted while being processed, a challenge addressed by emerging technologies like homomorphic encryption and confidential computing.

2025 Encryption Landscape: Key Trends and Developments

The encryption landscape in 2025 is shaped by quantum computing threats, regulatory mandates, and innovative cryptographic techniques. Organizations are increasingly adopting advanced encryption strategies to stay ahead of cyber threats and compliance requirements.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): The Future of Encryption

Quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC. Quantum computers can potentially break these algorithms using Shor’s algorithm, which efficiently factors large numbers and solves discrete logarithms. To counter this, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been leading the charge in developing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards.

In 2024, NIST finalized several PQC algorithms, including:

• CRYSTALS-Kyber: A key-encapsulation mechanism for secure encryption.


• CRYSTALS-Dilithium: A digital signature algorithm.

NIST’s roadmap aims to phase out RSA and ECC by 2030, with full deprecation by 2035. According to a 2025 Global Encryption Trends Study, 57-60% of organizations are already prototyping PQC solutions to future-proof their security infrastructure.

"By 2030, quantum computers could render current encryption standards obsolete, making the transition to post-quantum cryptography a critical priority for enterprises." — NIST, 2024

Regulatory Mandates Driving Encryption Adoption

Regulatory bodies worldwide are tightening data protection laws, mandating stronger encryption standards. Key regulations shaping encryption practices in 2025 include:

• PCI DSS 4.0: Effective March 2025, this standard requires AES-256 and TLS 1.3 for protecting cardholder data. It emphasizes robust encryption for data at rest and in transit, along with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and network segmentation.


• HIPAA Updates: Proposed updates in 2025 mandate encryption for electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) at rest and in transit. Healthcare organizations must implement MFA and advanced key management practices to comply.


• GDPR and Global Data Protection Laws: With 144 countries having data protection laws, covering 79-82% of the global population, encryption is a legal requirement for safeguarding personal data.

Compliance with these regulations is not optional. Organizations failing to adopt strong encryption face severe penalties, reputational damage, and increased vulnerability to data breaches.

AI and Automation in Key Management

Effective encryption relies on secure key management. Poor key management practices, such as co-locating keys with data or using weak keys, can undermine even the strongest encryption algorithms. In 2025, 58% of large enterprises are leveraging AI and automation to enhance key management.

AI-driven solutions offer several advantages:

• Automated key rotation to reduce the risk of key compromise.


• Real-time detection of anomalous key usage patterns.


• Simplified compliance with regulatory key management requirements.

By automating key lifecycle management, organizations can significantly reduce human error and improve overall security posture.

Emerging Encryption Technologies in 2025

Beyond traditional encryption methods, several cutting-edge technologies are gaining traction in 2025. These innovations address specific challenges, such as processing encrypted data without decryption and securing data in multi-party environments.

Homomorphic Encryption: Computing on Encrypted Data

Homomorphic encryption is a groundbreaking technology that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it. This capability is particularly valuable for:

• Cloud analytics, where sensitive data can be analyzed without exposure.


• Privacy-preserving machine learning (ML), enabling AI models to train on encrypted datasets.


• Secure data sharing across organizations without compromising confidentiality.

While still in the early stages of enterprise adoption, homomorphic encryption is gaining momentum as organizations seek to balance data utility with security.

Multi-Party Computation (MPC): Collaborative Data Security

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) enables multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their private inputs without revealing those inputs to each other. MPC is ideal for scenarios requiring:

• Secure data analysis across multiple organizations.


• Privacy-preserving financial transactions.


• Collaborative research on sensitive datasets.

MPC is becoming a viable solution for large-scale privacy needs, offering a balance between data collaboration and security.

Confidential Computing and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)

Confidential computing focuses on protecting data in use through hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). TEEs create secure enclaves within processors where data can be processed without exposure to the rest of the system, including the operating system or hypervisor.

Key benefits of confidential computing include:

• Protection against insider threats and privileged access abuses.


• Secure processing of sensitive data in cloud environments.


• Compliance with stringent data protection regulations.

Enterprises are increasingly adopting TEEs to address the challenges of securing data during processing, a critical gap in traditional encryption strategies.

Encryption Best Practices for 2025

To maximize the effectiveness of encryption, organizations should adhere to best practices that align with current threats and regulatory requirements. Here are key recommendations for 2025:

Adopt a Cryptographic Agility Framework

Cryptographic agility refers to the ability to swiftly transition between encryption algorithms and protocols in response to evolving threats or advancements. A robust framework includes:

• Regularly updating encryption algorithms to stay ahead of vulnerabilities.


• Implementing hybrid encryption models that combine symmetric and asymmetric methods.


• Proactively testing and adopting post-quantum cryptography standards.

Implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security model that eliminates the concept of trust within a network. Instead, it enforces strict identity verification and least-privilege access for every user and device. Encryption plays a pivotal role in ZTA by:

• Ensuring all data is encrypted at rest, in transit, and in use.


• Integrating with continuous authentication mechanisms.


• Supporting micro-segmentation to limit lateral movement in case of a breach.

ZTA is rapidly replacing traditional perimeter-based security models, offering a more resilient approach to cybersecurity.

Enhance Key Management Practices

Effective key management is critical to the success of any encryption strategy. Best practices include:

• Using hardware security modules (HSMs) for secure key storage and management.


• Implementing automated key rotation to minimize the window of vulnerability.


• Ensuring keys are never stored alongside the data they protect.


• Adopting multi-party control for high-value keys to prevent single points of failure.

By prioritizing key management, organizations can mitigate risks associated with key compromise and ensure the long-term integrity of their encryption strategies.

Leverage Data Masking and Tokenization

While encryption is essential, complementary techniques like data masking and tokenization provide additional layers of security, particularly in non-production environments.

• Data Masking: Obscures sensitive data with realistic but fictitious values, useful for development and testing.


• Tokenization: Replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens, reducing the scope of compliance requirements.

These techniques are particularly valuable in hybrid cloud environments, where data may be processed across multiple platforms.

Conclusion: The Path Forward for Encryption in 2025

The encryption landscape in 2025 is defined by rapid technological advancements, evolving threats, and stringent regulatory requirements. Organizations must adopt a proactive approach to encryption, leveraging post-quantum cryptography, AI-driven key management, and emerging technologies like homomorphic encryption and confidential computing.

By integrating encryption into a broader Zero Trust Architecture and prioritizing cryptographic agility, enterprises can future-proof their data security strategies. The statistics speak for themselves: 72% of organizations with robust encryption strategies experience reduced breach impacts, highlighting the tangible benefits of a well-implemented encryption framework.

As we move further into 2025, encryption will continue to be a cornerstone of cybersecurity, enabling organizations to protect their most valuable asset—data—in an increasingly complex and threat-filled digital world.

Encryption in Cloud and Hybrid Environments: Challenges and Solutions

The adoption of cloud computing and hybrid IT environments has transformed how organizations store, process, and transmit data. However, these environments introduce unique encryption challenges, particularly around data sovereignty, key management, and performance. In 2025, addressing these challenges is critical for maintaining security and compliance.

Data Sovereignty and Jurisdictional Compliance

One of the most significant challenges in cloud encryption is data sovereignty—the requirement that data be subject to the laws of the country in which it is stored. With 144 countries enforcing data protection laws, organizations must ensure their encryption strategies comply with regional regulations such as:

• GDPR (Europe): Mandates strong encryption for personal data and imposes heavy fines for non-compliance.


• CCPA (California): Requires encryption for sensitive consumer data and provides breach notification exemptions for encrypted data.


• China’s PIPL: Enforces strict encryption and localization requirements for data processed within China.

To navigate these complexities, enterprises are adopting multi-region encryption strategies, where data is encrypted differently based on its storage location. This approach ensures compliance while maintaining global data accessibility.

Key Management in the Cloud

Cloud environments often rely on shared responsibility models, where the cloud provider secures the infrastructure, but the organization is responsible for data security. This model complicates key management, as organizations must:

• Avoid storing encryption keys in the same location as the data (e.g., not using cloud provider-managed keys for sensitive data).


• Implement Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) or Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) models for greater control.


• Use Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for secure key storage and cryptographic operations.

A 2025 study by Encryption Consulting found that 65% of enterprises now use third-party key management solutions to retain control over their encryption keys, reducing reliance on cloud providers.

Performance and Latency Considerations

Encryption can introduce latency in cloud environments, particularly for high-volume transactions or real-time data processing. To mitigate this, organizations are leveraging:

• AES-NI (AES New Instructions): Hardware acceleration for faster AES encryption/decryption.


• TLS 1.3: Optimized for reduced handshake times and improved performance.


• Edge encryption: Encrypting data at the edge of the network to minimize processing delays.

By optimizing encryption performance, businesses can maintain operational efficiency without compromising security.

The Role of Encryption in Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security framework that operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Encryption is a foundational component of ZTA, ensuring that data remains protected regardless of its location or the network’s trustworthiness.

Core Principles of Zero Trust and Encryption

ZTA relies on several key principles where encryption plays a vital role:

• Least-Privilege Access: Users and devices are granted the minimum access necessary, with encryption ensuring that even authorized users cannot access data without proper decryption keys.


• Micro-Segmentation: Networks are divided into small segments, each requiring separate authentication and encryption. This limits lateral movement in case of a breach.


• Continuous Authentication: Encryption keys are dynamically updated, and access is re-verified continuously, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

According to a 2025 report by Randtronics, organizations implementing ZTA with robust encryption saw a 40% reduction in breach incidents compared to those relying on traditional perimeter-based security.

Implementing Encryption in a Zero Trust Model

To integrate encryption effectively within a ZTA framework, organizations should:

• Encrypt all data at rest, in transit, and in use, ensuring no data is left unprotected.


• Use identity-based encryption, where keys are tied to user identities rather than devices or locations.


• Deploy end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for communications, ensuring data is encrypted from the sender to the receiver without intermediate decryption.


• Leverage Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to secure data processing in untrusted environments.

By embedding encryption into every layer of the ZTA framework, organizations can achieve a defense-in-depth strategy that significantly enhances security posture.

Case Study: Zero Trust and Encryption in Financial Services

The financial services sector has been at the forefront of adopting Zero Trust with encryption. A leading global bank implemented a ZTA model in 2024, integrating:

• AES-256 encryption for all customer data at rest and in transit.


• Homomorphic encryption for secure fraud detection analytics on encrypted data.

Moore's Law: The Driving Force Behind Computing Evolution

What Is Moore's Law?

Moore's Law is the observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This trend has fueled exponential growth in computing power while keeping costs relatively stable.

First articulated by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, this principle has shaped the semiconductor industry for over five decades. It is not a physical law but rather an economic and engineering trend that has driven innovation in technology.

The Origin and Evolution of Moore's Law

Gordon Moore's Prediction

In 1964, Gordon Moore, then R&D director at Fairchild Semiconductor, presented his observations in a talk. He later formalized them in a 1965 article titled "Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits."

Initially, Moore predicted that the number of transistors would double every year for the next decade. However, in 1975, he revised this timeline to every two years, a prediction that held true for much longer than anticipated.

From Theory to Industry Standard

What began as an observation quickly became a self-fulfilling prophecy for the semiconductor industry. Companies like Intel adopted Moore's prediction as a development goal, ensuring that computing power grew exponentially.

This trend replaced bulky, room-sized computers and vacuum tubes with compact, affordable chips, revolutionizing the electronics industry.

Key Milestones in Moore's Law

Transistor Growth Over the Decades

The progression of transistor counts has been staggering:

• 1960s: Early chips contained only a handful of transistors.


• 2010s: Chips reached billions of transistors.


• 2024: A single chip achieved 4 trillion transistors.

Impact on Computing Power

As transistor counts increased, so did computational capacity. From 1975 to 2009, computing power doubled approximately every 1.5 years.

This exponential growth enabled the development of personal devices, mobile technology, and the infrastructure of the Information Age.

How Moore's Law Shaped Modern Technology

From Mainframes to Smartphones

Moore's Law made it possible to shrink computers from room-sized mainframes to handheld smartphones. This miniaturization was driven by the ability to pack more transistors into smaller spaces.

The shift from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits marked a turning point in computing history, making technology more accessible and affordable.

Software and Parallel Processing

As hardware advanced, software evolved to leverage multi-core processors. This shift toward parallel processing allowed applications to run faster and more efficiently.

Today, even everyday devices like smartphones and laptops benefit from the computational power enabled by Moore's Law.

Challenges to Moore's Law

Physical and Economic Limits

Despite its longevity, Moore's Law faces growing challenges. As transistors approach sub-2nm scales, quantum effects and physical limitations make further miniaturization difficult.

Additionally, the breakdown of Dennard scaling means that energy efficiency no longer improves proportionally with transistor size reductions.

Memory and Performance Gaps

Another hurdle is the memory bandwidth gap, where CPU performance grows exponentially while memory improvements remain linear. This disparity creates bottlenecks in system performance.

Innovations like 3D stacking and advanced manufacturing nodes are helping to sustain progress, but the future of Moore's Law remains a topic of debate.

"Moore's Law only stops when innovation stops."

This statement underscores the ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of semiconductor technology, ensuring that Moore's Law continues to drive progress in computing.

Conclusion

Moore's Law has been a cornerstone of technological advancement, shaping the modern world in ways that were once unimaginable. While challenges exist, the spirit of innovation continues to propel the semiconductor industry forward.

In the next section, we will explore the current trends and future possibilities that could extend or redefine Moore's Law for the next generation of computing.

The Future of Moore's Law: Innovations and Alternatives

Beyond Traditional Scaling

As traditional transistor scaling approaches its limits, the semiconductor industry is exploring new avenues to sustain Moore's Law. One promising direction is 3D chip stacking, which allows for more transistors in a given space by building vertically rather than horizontally.

Another approach is the development of chiplets, modular components that can be combined to create more powerful and efficient processors. This method reduces manufacturing complexity while maintaining performance gains.

Specialized Architectures and AI Accelerators

The rise of artificial intelligence has led to the creation of AI accelerators, specialized hardware designed to handle machine learning tasks more efficiently than traditional CPUs. These chips optimize performance for specific workloads, reducing reliance on raw transistor counts.

Companies like NVIDIA and Google have invested heavily in these architectures, demonstrating that innovation can continue even as Moore's Law faces physical constraints.

Quantum Computing: A Potential Leap Forward

Understanding Quantum Bits (Qubits)

Quantum computing represents a radical departure from classical computing. Instead of bits, which are either 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in a superposition of states. This allows for probabilistic problem-solving at speeds unattainable by traditional systems.

While still in its infancy, quantum computing could eventually overcome some of the limitations of Moore's Law by solving complex problems in fields like cryptography, material science, and optimization.

Challenges in Quantum Computing

Despite its potential, quantum computing faces significant hurdles. Qubit stability remains a major issue, as quantum states are highly susceptible to environmental interference. Additionally, scaling quantum systems to practical sizes requires breakthroughs in error correction and cooling technologies.
